What is an Example of a Geometric Sequence Number?

Published in Math Sequences 1 min read

A geometric sequence number, as part of a sequence, is a term created by multiplying the previous term by a constant value. An example of a geometric sequence is: 3, 9, 27, 81, 243,...

In this sequence:

  • Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 3 (the common ratio).
  • 3 x 3 = 9
  • 9 x 3 = 27
  • 27 x 3 = 81
  • 81 x 3 = 243

Therefore, 3, 9, 27, 81, and 243 are all examples of geometric sequence numbers within this particular sequence. Any subsequent number found by multiplying 243 by 3 (which is 729) is also an example of a geometric sequence number within this sequence.
